#2651 Re: Guns N' Roses » DR. PEPPER ISSUES CHALLENGE TO AXL ROSE! » 900 weeks ago
It's implied that CD will be out this year. Axl said he'd share his Dr. Pepper with Buckethead. For Axl to get the Dr. Pepper, CD has to come out.....
Aussie, Dr. Pepper is a Pepsi Product.
Oh ok fair enough - although not that it's going to happen but if you did market something like this presumably you would do it with Pepsi Cola as the product for the international brand recognition it brings as opposed to a smaller line of theirs like Dr Pepper.

What about a free can for people that don't live in the USA - the world doesn't end at the borders of the USA.
If this really was going to be something that GN'R decided to partner up with as a promotional tool simply because of all the interest they have seen has been suddenly generated by a clever independent marketing campaign done to promote Dr Pepper - what about the rest of the world. I don't believe Dr Pepper is sold her in Oz except for the odd speciality store - what about Europe or South America do they have any market share there?
It's not gonna happen!!! If they were really gonna partner up with some type of left field advertising like this - they would do it with an international giant like Coke or Pepsi.

Very intersting - it's good to know BH's stuff will be on it.
Sounds like they have simply decided to go with it - any promotion is good promotion!!!
#2654 Re: Guns N' Roses » DR. PEPPER ISSUES CHALLENGE TO AXL ROSE! » 900 weeks ago
Yeah if it's not part of a GN'R marketing campaign - I bet they probably wish it was now. Mind you as you say they are getting the exposure for CD anyhow.
However, it's all wasted exsposure if the album is not at a stage where it could be released in the near future to take advantage of the media publicity.
#2655 Re: Guns N' Roses » DR. PEPPER ISSUES CHALLENGE TO AXL ROSE! » 900 weeks ago
My thoughts when I first heard this were - yes it's legit, but no it has absolutely nothing to do with the GN'R camp. I just assumed that Dr Pepper were going to cash in on a very clever marketing campaign that will cost them nothing.
On the flip side it simply once again makes GN'R look stupid by poking fun at them. Given the fact that the thread on this has been deleted from the unofficially funded GN'R website, you tend to think it's simply been a pisstake on behalf of Dr Pepper. Probably an early April fools joke that was let out of the bag early.
#2656 Re: The Garden » My Home Theatre » 900 weeks ago
That looks awesome Monkeychow!!! Thanks for the pics.
The screen is huge!!! The clarity also looks really good - am I correct? I suppose your biggest trouble might have been whether you had the room to set the seats back far enough from the screen in order to be able to see it all?
I presume you have a quality sounds system to compliment it, so with wooden floor boards I would imagine that room would boom with the sound up. Bet the neighbours love it
The Dolby and DTS signs really cap it off nicely too. Where did you get those or did you just download them and print them off on a colour printer?
Oh yeah I like the movie posters as well!

Hey Monkeychow - that pic was broken, any chance of posting it again?
#2658 Re: Guns N' Roses » Thought This Was Funny... » 900 weeks ago
Sic - I almost pissed myself reading that! Too funny!!!
#2659 Re: Guns N' Roses » Thought This Was Funny... » 900 weeks ago
It's really all you can do is laugh - it really is a circus. Thanks for the laugh russtcb this really is a fantastic comedy to follow - I would love to know who writes the script?
The GN'R camp must clearly know by now who Mysteron is (for all we know they probably even intentionally created him), so he must basically have the green light to go ahead and respond on message boards and give tidbits of uninformative info like this.
My question would be why not just come out and say it thru an offical source like their website?? Why do you need some alias to do this? Granted it will look pretty fucken stupid to put on their website as updates would probably go something like this:
- "Axl is concentrating on getting the album released" - followed by an update for the next quarter as
- "Axl thinks it's time to wrap this baby up, it feels right", next quarter
- "The album is in the final mixing stages", then the update for the end of the year
- "The album is done everyone knows that", then the start of the following year
- "Axl is concentrating on getting the album released"..........
I just find the whole Mysteron thing a bit stupid???? Why bother to repond to a post asking "what is Axl doing now" with bascially the same response that has been given for 15 years?? Wouldn't you just ignore it unless you truly had something enlightening to contribute? I just find it strange and potentially inflammatory to respond out of the blue with that sort of glib answer?
Actually, on reflection I don't think this whole saga is a comedy anymore - it actually turned into a tragedy a long time ago.
#2660 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Scott says VR is finished after this tour on stage in Glasgow?! :( » 901 weeks ago
Scott does seem to have overreacted to Matt - but then again we don't know what has been simmering under the surface prior to now that caused this to explode.
I haven't liked the way Weiland has acted much since he has been in VR. That said, as others have pointed out it must be fucken hard to continually get the GN'R questions, comparisons, reunion talk etc etc. Just on that point - Axl may wanna have a look at how that played out, for some people the original GN'R (or I'll say at least pre 1993 GN'R - Slash n Axl) is all people are ever willing to accept. No doubt similar questions and talk will continue to plague Axl and his employees, even if he does finally get the gonads to release CD.
Very interesting that Matt was the one to go into rehab meaning they had to can the Aussie tour. I also over time have lost respect for Matt. I used to like him but more and more he seems like a dick too. His only fall back position is that Adler is probably too fucked to ever be phyisically capable of doing a full world tour by himself in the event the unthinkable happens at some point in the future and there was a reunion.
In the meantime I would assume he will hitch his wagon to whatever Slash and Duff do if he can. Although it would be interesting to get their honest opinion at the moment of how they feel about Matt too, or whether it was just Weiland and he that had issues.
